Thanks alot of creators have gotten rid of the camera for this issue. I appreciate that you are still covering this camera and gear that can be used to augment battery life.
@MatsuXL its webcam, its for photos and videos. Plus, the nikkon colors out the box are hard to replicate on another camera. My only compliant would be 4k battery life. If they had an update to fix that. I would put my phone away and focus on just the camera. But using both will do for now. But i dont mind 1080 p and a good battery bank. The visuals dont change much from what I see.Thanks for the reply.
Glad it's working for you. So far in my tests with a used a DC-Coupler plus AC adapter combo I've still got heat issues outputting HDMI. Around 35 minutes at 4k and yesterday it was 2 hours and 45 minutes with 1080p 60 fps. I think at this point it depends on how good a person's air conditioning is in their house or if they live in a cold climate, lol.
I have no Idea why would Nikon sell a "VLOG CAMERA" that u can't film longer than 12 minutes otherwise it overheats... Well I was about to return it or sell but now I will try this Mounty Battery. Thanks for your video
Great video, thanks for the info. I was looking information about the same problem and sadly nothing worth, but if you have tried with this new dummy battery then I will do the same. Another question I wanted to ask is, have you experienced any issues with the image in the camera? I mean, when I plug in to 4k video, the camera image is showing some white points but only in 4k. Is this normal? Any idea what is this about? Thank you man. And one more thing, could you please write the name of this newer dummy battery?
This is the Neewer NEEWER VP-EP5G EN-EL25 to D Tap Dummy Battery In regards to the 4K and spots chances are when you’re recording in 4K your sensor may be dirty. You only see it in 4K because you are actually recording in a bigger range of pixels on the sensor versus in 1080 you only using a part of the sensor. I would recommend getting a blower to clean your sensor or a cleaning tool.
I'm probably one of the few Z30 users to mainly use it for stills, but to get around the heating issue I think they should have gone down the route Fuji did with the X-S20 by adding two threading inserts where a fan mounts.
I like to bring my Z30 when I’m really just trying to be very minimalistic. It’s perfect for like Disney trips and stuff where I really just wanna kind of run and gun.
@nonsensefam let me know! I called Nikon about downgrading and they said it’s not possible. If this keeps up ima be banging their social media down lol
Amazing video! So, in total, how much are you able to record non-stop? More than 8 hours? I really want to buy a Z30, but those overheating issues makes me really worried, since I record dance presentations that, sometimes, are over 12 hours long! Best regards from Brazil 🇧🇷
I think it’s all going to depend on your size of battery and memory card! Question I have is how long would your “longest take” be? Not consistent 12 hours right?
Entao amigo, eu to pra comprar essa bateria pra teste porque eu amei a z30 mas estou extremamente frustrado com o aquecimento e duração da bateria. Galera fala em vários vídeos que são 45 minutos mas nem isso é, as vezes em 12 minutos já ta pegando fogo. Eu comprei não tem nem dois meses e já to pensando em vender, vou decidir se testo essa bateria ou vendo.
So the other day, I was an 80° weather outside and recorded an hour and a half nonstop with no issues whatsoever. 4k30 direct sunlight no shade. Just thought I’d give you an update.
@@MatsuXL Actually I'm not sure about my claim anymore, I just realized I only just switched to 4K recently. Also, for added disclosure, it's outdoors where it was often windy.
Hola. Tengo la Z30 pero se calienta en 5min 😢 Compré una falsa batería en Aliexpress y sigue el problema. Tanto como webcam o grabando video, el sobrecalentamiento de la cámara ocurre 😢
Mi espanol is muy mal so compromiso… Por eso, en primer lugar, dudaba tanto en comprar una batería falsa. Elegí la marca Neewer porque la he usado en el pasado y confío en sus productos. Lo que encontré como alternativa es mantener la cámara en 1080p y me durará horas cuando use el método de alimentación USB.
A couple things matter: How hot is your room temp? What are you shooting in? 4k30? 4k24? 1080p60? How is your camera mounted? Is your flip screen out and battery compartment open?
Purchased it. It didn't work. The battery plug in and the mini fan. I'm not getting streaming or record time as suggested in many videos including this one.
TBH Most video reviews don't talk about it or stress it that far. I think @geraldundone is best when it comes to testing the limits of devices. With the z30 I noticed the newest firmware ruined my battery life again so as much as this helped me in the past, results may vary now 😢
I agree with you! I watched all the launch reviews, and nobody noticed this issue! They even mentioned that it can record this long or that long in 4K, but no mentioning of overheating. This camera is really frustrating to use, yet marketed as video creators!

I’m sure a lot of people got mad. I think as a sub 800 camera this the Z30 can do a bunch if paired with the right gear

I bought a dummy battery and it still overheats. I'm really annoyed because nobody mentioned it during the launch reviews...

Lots of factors can occur. I also believe the time has been nerfed due to a recent firmware issue which reset the max temp alert

Great video just got my z30 yesterday
Any issues with overheating? I just had mine overheat via USB power delivery 3 times on a 2 hour long stream (1080p 60fps)
What firmware are you running? I noticed with updating to firmware 1.11 I’ve had severe issues in 4k. 1080p 60 hasn’t been noticed yet
@@MatsuXL 1.11 is what I have also. Just started doing it today. I'll see if it repeats itself on the next stream, could be random.

Have this on the shortlist with Sony zve10, that no firmware update for over a year is kinda... yeah
We need more firmware updates period! Across all manufacturers
Please give me suggestion Between nikon z30 vs sony zv e10, which will be better? I am a beginner photographer and videographer.
Tbh I think what’s your goal long term? I think Sony is best with video but Nikon is best Photos
so you're using a battery to power another battery? Do you have a battery for that other battery too?
I have Batteries connected to batteries connected to batteries and more batteries. it's like a battery centipede
Just had my first overheating situation after over a year with it 😢
Sometimes I feel like it’s the device and some last longer than others
Is there a dummy battery for the z30 that doesn't require a battery pack. One that direct lines into a electrical supply such as an wall outlet
Yes! I have yet to test them though but you’d want something like this

What lens do you use good sir? :)
Nikkor DX 24mm 1.7 Lens for the Z Mount with examples #Nikon #zmount #nikonlens
I've been using my Z 30 at least once every week the last few months, recording 4K 30p, PD power, 1-2 hr nonstop, no overheating.
Consider yourself lucky. I’ve constantly overheated 4k30 every 40-45 minutes

I got a dummy battery and it still overheats while streaming
A couple things matter:
How hot is your room temp?
What are you shooting in? 4k30? 4k24? 1080p60?
How is your camera mounted?
Is your flip screen out and battery compartment open?
@MatsuXL 4k 30 I believe and I'm just streaming
Purchased it. It didn't work. The battery plug in and the mini fan. I'm not getting streaming or record time as suggested in many videos including this one.
What firmware are you on?
@@MatsuXL 1.00 / 1.01.
Im updating now and will report back.
@@MatsuXL I updated C firmware from 1.00 to 1.11.
No change.
Does this camera lets you to pause and resume video recording?
You cannot pause a recording and have it pick up on the same file. It will create two separate files
I bought the same dummy battery and it still overheats. Honestly, this camera is a huge let down. Really wish I would have gone with a sony or cannon.
What firmware version are you on?
Same, the product is simply flawed...
What’s worse than everything no big creator said anything about overheating or the horrible battery life!
TBH Most video reviews don't talk about it or stress it that far. I think @geraldundone is best when it comes to testing the limits of devices. With the z30 I noticed the newest firmware ruined my battery life again so as much as this helped me in the past, results may vary now 😢
